Richard was great

Richard was great, good balanced advice. Asked what I wanted to get out of the system and adviced accordingly of the types of speakers to provide that. Got me an excellent package deal and prepped the speaker cables for me.

I don’t normally bother with surveys but it would be unjust not to commend the excellent service and knowledge about the product I bought, particularly from Martin. Will definite use Croydon Richer Sounds again.

Tried upselling something motpre expensive

I told your assistant the item I'd come to buy. He immediately tried upselling a similar more expensive one. I bought what I wanted, the original I'd wanted, except the item wasn't in stock so had to return 2 days later. I was happy with my second visit.

Thanks for your review and for visiting our Croydon store. I’m pleased to hear that you left happy following your second visit, but it's of course disappointing that the initial recommendation came across as pushy, which the sales colleagues should never come across as.

I’ll be sure to pass your comments back to the manager and his team so we can keep the balance right, thank you again for your custom and for the valuable feedback.

Brilliant service as usual

I recently picked up the Audio-Technica LP70XBT from Richer Sounds in South Croydon, and I couldn’t be happier with both the product and the experience.

I’ve been coming to this store since I was a teenager, and it’s honestly reassuring that the level of service hasn’t dropped one bit over the years. The team are consistently knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely enthusiastic about what they do — it never feels like a hard sell, just people who actually care about helping you find the right setup.

As for the LP70XBT itself, it’s fantastic. Super easy to set up, beautifully designed, and the Bluetooth functionality makes it incredibly convenient without compromising sound quality. It’s the perfect blend of modern features and that classic vinyl experience.

Richer Sounds South Croydon continues to be my go-to for audio gear, and this latest purchase just reinforces why. Highly recommended both the turntable and the store.

Top quality product

Top quality product, Marantz amp and Dali speakers. Incredible sound for the price, couldn't recommend highly enough. Top service which is what I have come to expect from Richer Sounds.

Excellent company to buy from!

This is an excellent company to deal with. Very good service, good prices, good warranties and will price match if you find your item cheaper on another website.

Great Customer Service

Had a wonderful experience with Ri her Sounds - Croydon, I was able to test the sound of the speakers and even compare them. Martin was very patient and informative and now I have a sound system I am happy with.
